What’s in These Ham and Cheese Sliders?

These sliders are the ultimate combination of sweet, savory, and cheesy goodness. Soft rolls are layered with ham and gooey melted cheese, then topped with a buttery, garlicky glaze that makes them irresistible.

Ingredients

For the Sliders:

• 12 Hawaiian rolls (or any soft dinner rolls)
• 12 slices deli ham (honey or smoked ham works great)
• 6 slices Swiss cheese (or cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)

For the Buttery Glaze:

• 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional, for texture)
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Easy Ham and Cheese Sliders

Step 1: Prepare the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as a single piece. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish.

Step 2: Assemble the Sliders

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom rolls. Layer the ham slices evenly, followed by the cheese slices. Place the top half of the rolls over the fillings.

Step 3: Make the Buttery Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and poppy seeds. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Brush and Bake

Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the buttery glaze over the tops of the sliders. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven and let the sliders cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Slice them apart and serve warm!
